2 REVOLUTION

3 A distributed energy revolution: decentralised, autonomous, electric. In world without subsidies, millions of solar households and businesses will become true market participants as active co-producers of energy. Blockchain technologies help to integrate the new, distributed actors into energy markets without a central organisation.

Solar without subsidies becomes a reality. 2035 there will be five megawatt of solar without feed-in tariffs just in the German city of Saarlouis (40,000 inhabitants). 6.000 kw 5.

6 End users want to actively engage with their energy system. People demand greater agency in shaping their energy and supply systems. From self-consumption, e-mobility, electric heating to peer-to-peer trading: There is a latent but increasing desire to more actively engage with energy markets.

7 Collaborative networks of co-production. Blockchain technology will be the transactional backbone of energy systems of the future. Linking consumers, producers, service providers and everyone in between into networks of co-productive peers.

8 A consensus machine for energy transactions. A machine designed establish and maintain irrevocable consensus among market participants. Blockchain technology can be utilised to facilitate and enshrine any kind of energy market transaction.

13 HYBRID POWER

14 Virtual self supply via a Hybrid Power market. A hybrid energy market enables end-users to procure renewable capacity longterm and offset supply imbalances via a spot markets at the same time. This allows for completely novel usage models, such as self supply via private virtual power plants.

31 Hybrid Economics Solar is competitive today.

32 Capex is the new opex: Hybrid power at work for industry. Green power that drives industrial processes. Long term price stability. Operational costs that turn into capital investments. Hybrid energy offers a range of benefits also within commercial / industrial settings.
